About the Crew

Captain Vinko

Coming from seaside city of Split in Croatia , Vinko spent his childhood summer days on a family sailboat. Growing up, his affection for sailing only grew stronger and during his college years he started doing boat deliveries in Croatia.

During his early days he realized office jobs don’t suit him, and he decided to make a full-time career out of his passion for sailing. Over the years he made more than 70 000 miles during his work in the charter (Croatia, Greece, Italy, Spain, France) or boat deliveries worldwide.

When Vinko is not sailing open waters, he enjoys traveling, cooking, playing ukulele and spending a fun time with his family and friends.

Vinko is a true representative of a Adriatic sailing area, local Croatian heritage, gourmet food and wine. Always passionate to show the essence and beauties of his country to his guests onboard.
He is genuinely looking forward to create authentic experience on the water together.

Chef: Lucia

Lucia Smoljo discovered that her love for food, people, the sea, and a relaxed environment comes together perfectly while working on boats. Her warm, attentive, and witty personality ensures that you feel at home, and her culinary creations reflect this inviting spirit.

With a decade of experience in the service industry and three years spent working on boats in both the Adriatic and the Caribbean, Lucia is a true professional you can trust. In her free time, she enjoys gathering family and friends for shared meals, making hospitality an instinctive part of her life.

What Lucia cherishes most about her job is the opportunity to showcase the beauty of her homeland to guests and connect with the remarkable individuals who come aboard.

Host/Hostess: Nadja Bonaći

Nadja is a dedicated and highly trained stewardess with a genuine passion for the sea, people, and life on board. She chose this profession because it perfectly combines her love for sailing, dynamic work environments, and providing high-quality service to guests. Being at sea gives her a strong sense of freedom and balance, and she truly enjoys creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where guests can feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout their journey.

With experience as a stewardess, hostess, and freelance skipper, Nadja is well acquainted with daily boat operations, safety procedures, and guest needs. She particularly enjoys peaceful mornings at anchor, exploring hidden bays, and spending time surrounded by nature. In her free time, she enjoys cooking, walking in nature, and reading, which help her stay grounded, creative, and attentive to detail in her work.

Nadja enjoys working with children, as she is patient and caring, and believes that time spent on a boat can be a special and memorable experience for the whole family. She approaches every guest interaction with warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail, always striving to ensure that each trip is smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. Her goal is to create lasting memories on board while providing exceptional care and comfort to every guest.

Dear Lucia, Nadja, and Vinko,

We had a wonderful week with you. The experience far exceeded our expectations; we never imagined we'd have a Michelin-starred chef sailing with us. You took such good care of us and pampered us every step of the way. Vinko, you were our Marco Polo; thank you for every place you chose. Nadja, our Mirjana Mikulec, thank you for the beautiful decorations, your creativity, and your attention to detail.

With all our love, and looking forward to next year!

Farben, thank you for an amazing week!
You allowed us the opportunity to discover Croatia through its incredible food, amazing wine, and all the beautiful places you showed us!

Throughout the whole journey, you made us feel safe & so well taken care of. It was clear that you genuinely cared about every little detail. From the beautifully set dinner table every evening to the color coded towels, that made everything so easy, those thoughtful touches made us truly feel at home.

The cave experience was absolutely unforgettable and will remain one of our favorite memories! You said you wanted the boat to feel like home, and you definitely succeeded.

 

We shared so many wonderful moments together, enjoying delicious food, that Lucia made and all the fun games that Nadia introduced us to. One of the highlights was watching the World Cup final together on the boat and seeing Spain win it made the experience even more special and is a memory we'll never forget.

 

Thank you Vinko, Lucia and Nadia for your kindness, your hospitality and for making this trip so unique. We will always remember this incredible week and hope to see you again someday in this beautiful country!

"Oh we sailed the Adriatic Sea, down the Dalmatian coast so free.
We ate, we drank, we laughed, we swam, what a life for you and me.
From island bays to sunsets gold, memories worth more than gold,
On the Farben we found pure joy, a story forever told...... !"

Dear Vinko, Luce, Nadja,

You were AMAZING... The week we've spent on your boat FARBEN was more than we expected!! For us it was the first time in Croatia, and you led this revelation. You were the best guide Vinko, you brought bays and the nicest beautiful villages. 
Nadja, I'd never had Limoncello Tonics as you prepared them. And you Luce, in your kitchen kingdom! Everything was sooo delicious. So, team Farben, thank you so much for this splendid sailing trip! 🖤

What a fabulous trip!! Vinko, Lucija & Nadja took wonderful care of all of us. We were spoiled every day. Could not have asked for a better crew. The yacht is beautiful and all the toys!! Wow! Fabulous food, fabulous service, & unbelievably great Captain.
❤️ Annie & Benghian, Calico, Shammy

 

Great Trip. Beautiful country, harbors, coves. Vinko did everything on the boat, Lucija had great meals, all special, and Nadja took care of everything else... nursing, bartending, cleaning, all with a wonderfully pleasant attitude. I am not sure which we will miss more as we depart.
– P.J.

Deepest thanks Vinko, Lucia & Nadja for creating this unbelievable experience for our family! We have had the best time - swimming, hiking, sailing, laughing, playing (endless!) cards, exploring hidden islands and charming towns... and eating so much delicious food! We’re so grateful to you for designing this perfect week for us, and taking such good care of us along the way. I'm very sure if you didn't kick us out we'd never leave!! We'll be dreaming of floating on the fatboys in crystal clear waters while smelling freshly baked bread for years to come.

With gratitude, Eve, JB, Ayla & Maya and Barry!
